The lyric is:

I'll fill your cup
I won't do it like Kevin


My take:

Song was recorded around the time "Waterworld" was released in theatres. Close to the opening of the movie is a scene where Kevin Costner pees in a cup, which is then filtered through a machine to make drinking water (there's an abundance of salt water but virtually no fresh water). I think the line is related to that scene.

Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife. More info at https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/
